Does anyone know what the make/model of the sheet stoppers are on our vintage boat (per signature below)? The one we have for the first reef (inboard unit on the port side) has a broken cam in it that prevents the jaw from lifting to take tension off the line. There's nothing on them to indicate who made them and our owner's manual contains no hint either. Need to try to acquire parts or a replacement unit if necessary.
on my 97' they are not marked either, but I'm just about positive they are Garhauer. Give them a buzz, they're pretty good folks.

Thanks Gary, I checked their web site and their rope clutches look exactly like the ones we have. I'll get in touch with them and see what's up for parts.
On my 1994 the stops are by Garhauer. My main halyard was slipping. I called the company and they still had the exact stop (it's in their catalog). The lady on the phone told me I only needed the jagged gripping part ($11.00). I figured out how to disassemble the stop and replace the part and it works like new. Great company. The whole new stop, I think was about $90; still a lot less than other brands.
